3 Crazy Kanban Tips for Microsoft Loop Workspaces

[@prajwaln4995]

Such an amazing way to manage a program with multiple projects. Could be a nifty way to put links to projects. GENIUS !!!

Love the kanban approach. Thxamillion. Looking forward to fully integrate this in my microsoft team.

I love the kanban component just as it is. The only thing I miss is that they don't sync with planner. I love using planner on Teams as my central hub for everything task related assigned to me.

Love the linking. I agree that in the call out main detail page, you would need to stress no dates on it and use the kanban card / table and also indicate that the page is a child of the Kanban card. Also linking back to the board task from the child detail page is needed. It’s something i have always done in notebooks with pages and sections and paragraphs as is saves a lotta time

Great ideas for back linking. I hope one day we get suggested back links or even automatic ones.

Great video - comment about 2:10 Can't you start a checklist list in a text column (while in a table) by hitting / and then Checklist (or did I misunderstand your point). Also it would be cool to add a back link to the first page from the subpages.

[@DarrellaaS]

Thank you Rob. When adding a checklist to a text column, you will have to add it manually to each new row you add. I found that the checklist column in the Kanban component adds the checklist to each new row. Great idea about the backlink to the Kanban page. I should create a page template with the backlink. Then use the template for each new item.

@@DarrellaaS I think I'm finally getting your point (which is a good one). If you want to have checklists in your table - start with a Kanban board and then customize the columns if needed. To continue this thought - use Task List if you want it to connect to Planner (ToDo) - use Voting Table if you want bullet points. Progress Tracker can also have Checklists (blockers)

Quick question - I am trying to consolidate some kanban boards. Lets say there is a master and a few dept kanban boards. I want the department ones to roll up to the master. I cannot seem to make it do that is there a workaround or another solution?

[@joachimFritsch]

very interesting video. Is it possible that the tasks from the Kanban also appear in the Planner? With /task the tasks are displayed directly in Planner/ToDo. Unfortunately I can't do this with /kanban.

[@DarrellaaS]

If you start with Kanban then the items don’t create a Planner plan. If you start with Task list it creates a plan. But that Task list can be viewed as a Kanban board too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3W3eJ2El9VnpZI&si=fYKRyAMXno2Z0Iih

[@joachimFritsch]

@@DarrellaaS Thank you for your answer. But unfortunately I don't have the options under Task, such as the linking you describe in your video.

[@channelvalitug9086]

Is there a way to update the date on the Kanban automatically? Say I move an item to Done then the date on the item will show the current date it was move to done.

[@DarrellaaS]

Not today. Good feature request thought.

[@pieterkops]

Great tips here fellow TAPper. Maybe adding a link on the subject page that takes you back to the kanban page.

[@DarrellaaS]

Thank you Pieter. Yes I think I will add a breadcrumb styled link to a page template for tasks in a project workspace.

[@lyndistech]

I wish we can automate the movement of the cards on the kanban board

[@DarrellaaS]

Do you like when you update the status of a card from not started, to in progress?

[@lyndistech]

@@DarrellaaS Yes 🥰. Where a certain condition has been met or a certain time passes. And also where a card has not been modified for a certain time or update another card when a related card is modified.
